OfaWn by SIN HOTSeSI was gov ~ 'no
work early, and with the aid of the
snow plough and with the assistance
of an extra gang of men put on by
the ST. Pancras Vestry, all the roads
were kept clear, So that cars were
running as usual from Hampstead,
Righgatc, and Finsbury Park to
Kings cross and Euston-road. Only
half the number of cars were run,
with four horses to each car. The
only route upon which the cars ceased
running was the newly opened one
from Pentonyille-road to ClurkenweIl-
road. There the Company had made
ample preparations, and were pre-.
pared TO run as usual, but the Clerk
enwell Vestry wrote to ask them not
to put down any salt. Consequently
the service was suspended. Only
half the number Of omnibuses were
running and very few cabs were out,
the roads being practically impossible
excepting where they had been cleared
by the Tram Compan.'s sweepers.
The weight of the snow resulted as
usual in the breaking OF many tele-
graph wires, and in some parts the
telegraph poles snapped off short.
Our SouthamplonC Correspondent states
that Il strong gale from the southeast,
backing to northeast, blew all sun

panied by heavy rain and SHOW squalls.
Yesterday morning the district wore
a very winterly appearance, and the
roads were in most places fully five
inches deep in half melted snow. The
Royal mail steamer Midway went a
shore at Yarmouth; but is expected
to- get off.
The Isle of Wight was visited by
one of the severest storms of wind on
record. Snow fell for the first time
this winter, and yesterday morning a
sharp frost set in. Serious damage
was done. The tunnel connecting
Ryde Pier with St.John's Station was
flooded with three feet OF water, and
the line between ST. Johns and
SmalIbrook was washed away. At
Ventnor the side of a house was
blown in. At S0ndown The seawall
and the Gasworks were damaged,
and the roots of two churches I'M ured.
At Ryde The railway between San
down and Newport was under water
Our Peterborough Correspondent
says that great destruction has been
caused to the telegraph wires on the
Great Northern Railway, and from
Sunday night up to yesterday after
O o the communication with Kings
cross was destroyed. The block
system was consequently thrown
completely out of gear. The 1.9
am. up train, due at king's-cross at
$50. did not get in until five O'Clock,
having to stop at each signal box, and
the guard says it was the toughest
night he has experienced for years.
On the Great Eastern Railway the
telegraph wires were also seriously
damaged, but communication was not
entirely cut off.
A storm Of extraordinary violence

found to be ashore a little to the
northward. Here, again, the rocket

vessel, but without any result II was
found that nothing could be done In
the binding snow and the turbulent
sea until daylight. When dawn broke
the wreck was deserted in a danger

made by the Coastguard to save them.

When it seemed likely that the crew
